MAA
There are at least two artists with the name MAA.
1) MAA (real name Tanaka Maria), born January 25, 1986 in Yokosuka, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, is a Japanese electronica/pop artist, formerly known as MAR, the vocalist of short-lived rock group MarBell. After the group disbanded, she debuted in September 2010 with the electro-pop single "GHOST ENEMY", under the stage name MAA, which comes from her name Maria.
With thirteen tattoos on her body (the alligator on her back being her symbol), she is known for her rough nature due to her outgoing and carefree personality. Her exotic looks, from her American father and Japanese mother, have drawn comparisons to many Western pop artists. Her eccentric attitude has earned her the nickname, "psycho Cinderella".
In December 2010, her debut mini-album, "Monkey Kingdom" was released. MAA said, "My papa calls me a crazy monkey, so I titled the album Monkey Kingdom, as in my own kingdom," she explained. "If people could have the chance to get to know me through this album, I think that'd be a good thing."
2) MAA is a Finnish indie trio founded in 2010. The debut album of Tuhkankantajat, is a synthesis of diverse musical styles and influences, ranging from lounge to folk, from pop to ambient, and yet all the while creating a wholistic work of singular vision and voice. The approach to sound on the album evokes a different time and place, one of lush warmth and presence, one that perhaps harkens back to some past decades, in contrast to the crass and bland trends of today's music industry. Recorded with analog reel-to-reel tape technology, and using a setup consisting of acoustic and electric guitars, bass, drums, cellos, trumpets, pianos and Fender Rhodes, the result is a rich sonic palette to immerse oneself in, a tapestry of sound to soothe one's soul.
